Register or Login to view.It's undeniably true that the rosettes page, Q13 and some other folios are connected, and studying this topic may lead to useful insights. But let's not forget that large majority of folios in this manuscript bear no visual resemblance to the rosettes family at all. Plants, Zodiac and Q20 are of a different breed, despite the occasional overlap.
On the face of it, but that’s where I think we go wrong, by relying only on the visual instead of the texts the illustrations might be based on. I’ve found a few interesting correlations with the zodiac, for instance, that would never be found unless read about. From my perspective, a whole sphere is devoted to plants. I believe the Rosettes page operates as a worldview, but also an index.Moreover, there are many very obvious visual resemblances I’ve never even seen mentioned. Devil’s in the details.
